Families of domestic abuse victims driven to suicide criticise 'postcode lottery' of coroner's courts.

Pragna Patel of Project Resist spoke to The Guardian for an investigation into the 'postcode lottery' faced by families of domestic abuse victims driven to suicide. The piece exposed how individual coroners decide what evidence to consider, leading to wildly inconsistent rulings on whether a suicide following abuse should be treated as a potential homicide. The article amplifies the Suicide is Homicide campaign and the experience of bereaved families calling for systemic reform. Project Resist continues to push for clear national guidance so that domestic-abuse-related suicides are investigated with the same rigour as other suspicious deaths.
